The max-min hill-climbing Bayesian network structure learning algorithm
We present a new algorithm for Bayesian network structure learning, called Max-Min Hill-Climbing (MMHC). The algorithm combines ideas from local learning, constraint-based, and sea...

Exploiting qualitative domain knowledge for learning Bayesian network parameters with incomplete data
When a large amount of data are missing, or when multiple hidden nodes exist, learning parameters in Bayesian networks (BNs) becomes extremely difficult. This paper presents a lea...

Exploiting Qualitative Knowledge in the Learning of Conditional Probabilities of Bayesian Networks
Algorithms for learning the conditional probabilities of Bayesian networks with hidden variables typically operate within a high-dimensional search space and yield only locally op...

Bayesian model search for mixture models based on optimizing variational bounds
When learning a mixture model, we suffer from the local optima and model structure determination problems. In this paper, we present a method for simultaneously solving these prob...
